Eye-catching F/VF appearing used horizontal strip of four of the world-famous 1840 issue "Penny Black", plate positions "HI" to "HL". A RECENT REVIEW OF THIS LOT DETECTED A PRESSED OUT HORIZONTAL CREASE. This only the second four stamp multiple of this iconic stamp that we've ever offered. Scott Classic lists a used strip of three at US$1,875.00 ($2,343.75 CDN). An extra stamp added to the strip would technically push the value to over $3,000.00. Conservatively catalogued as four basic Penny Black singles but worth much more. 2021 Scott US$1,500.00=
